brookfield has gone from, like, strength to strength. if i was a martian meeting you for the first time, how would you describe your company? bruce: we invest in, buy, and own the backbone of global economy. when the water gets delivered to your house, the roads you drive on, the pipeline that brings different things to your community, the telecom towers that transmit your phone, the data center, the real estate that you live in. it's what we own and build. so it's really what drives the economy, and you don't often see our name. francine: is that a good or a bad thing? bruce: you know, it's just because we are behind the scenes. but it is big with $1 trillion of assets almost. we are behind a lot of the things of the global economy. francine: so being low-key, do you think it gives you strength? bruce: we just try to be quiet and do our thing, and sometimes it helps, and sometimes it doesn't. but i would say, on balance, it has been good for us. francine: so, you have been in charge for 22 years at brookfield. bruce: yes, it seems like

francine: infrastructure has been a bright spot for brookfield. the company is gathering cash for a new fund targeting buyout opportunities in the middle east. and it plans to start a pool that invests in financial infrastructure, such as payment systems as demand grows. i continue the conversation with bruce flatt. did you know in 2002 that you wanted to be at $900 billion asset under management? or $1 trillion? bruce: we are just trying to make money for our clients in a thoughtful way. and we have done that for a long period of time. and the reason why we are at the scale we are is that we have been thoughtful with their money and we have earned them a good return and we have not taken a lot of risk. and if you can do that over long periods of time, you can compound their wealth, investment wealth to very large sums of money. and that is what is important for these sovereign institutional pension investors. because they have long durations and they need these type of assets to earn them returns over the long return. francine: you have also gott
